Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your body. -- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV

How to Perform the Ab Slant Board

Place the slant board (if adjustable) at the proper height for your abilities. The higher up it is the harder the set will be.
Lie face up on the slant board with your head toward the ground, wrapping your feet under the pads near the top of the board. This will keep you on the board.
Place your hands either across your chest or behind your head.
Begin to do a sit up by slowly curling your head toward your knees. Your torso should curl too, not remain straight.
Stop when your lower back begins to come up off the board.
Return to the starting position by lowering your head slowly back to the board.
Continue the exercise without resting until you have completed the appropriate number of reps. You should be near muscle failure at the end of the set.

Precautions when doing this exercise:

Do not pull your head forward with your hands. If you can't keep from doing this place your hands across your chest instead of behind your hands.
Don't do the exercise quickly, swinging your body up and down out of control. Slow, steady resistance is best.
Don't keep your torso straight, it must be curling and uncurling as in doing 'crunch' type sit ups.
